Congratulations to those who made it through Detox with the Docs, Today is your last day!

What you may not know is what to do next? So you feel great you’ve been eating healthy and working out, but do you just go back to how you did things before the detox? No! The idea of this cleanse is to teach you to be aware of how food makes you feel! What foods give you more energy, what foods give you unhealthy symptoms. So, as you start adding foods back into your diet add them one at a time. This will help you determine what foods you have allergies or sensitivities to. Symptoms associated with food allergies and sensitivities include headaches, fatigue, nausea, rash, indigestion, cloudy head, confusion, sudden awkwardness, trouble breathing, scratchy mouth or throat, feeling hungover the next day, and the list goes on and on. Everyone reacts differently and can have different severity of reactions. If when you add a food back into your diet you find that you have these reactions, remove it again for the time being.

Another way to track if you have a food allergy or sensitivity is the Cocoa Pulse Test. This test is not as accurate as going by your symptoms but can be helpful for some. To perform this test take your pulse prior to eating and record the rate. Write down what you have to eat the date and time. Then 15 minutes after eating take your pulse again and record the rate and 30 minutes after eating record the rate. If you are allergic to something you should have an adrenal response and your pulse rate will increase. If you are suffering from adrenal fatigue you may not notice an adrenal reaction due to your bodies adrenal exhaustion.

What if you find that the foods you love are really foods that you are allergic or sensitive too and you really want to keep them in your diet. If this is the case call today and schedule your consultation with Dr. Rachel to discuss how Allergy/Sensitivity elimination and reprogramming technique (A/SERT) can be beneficial for you.
